4 suspected in Yorba Linda burglary ring

Lisette Monique Ayala, 18; Andrew Rashad Gatlin, 22; Terrence Davion Collins, 22; and Art Anthony Wibberding, 28, were arrested on suspicion of burglary crimes after they were found on Club View Drive in a red Lexus containing burglary tools and stolen property.

"The Sheriff's Department has put additional resources in the area to combat these crimes this past month," said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department. "Our top priority when we took over patrolling the area Jan. 5 was to reduce burglaries. These arrests should certainly put a huge dent in burglary rates."

Sheriff's officers received a call that a suspicious woman rang the doorbell of a home in the 5600 block of Chalon Road around 8 p.m. asking for someone who does not live there, Amormino said.

This is a common tactic by burglars to see if anyone is home, Amormino said.

Officers said they found Ayala, who matched a description of the reported doorbell-ringing woman, in the car with Gatlin, Collins and Wibberding, which was parked across the street from a home that is under construction and that was recently burglarized.

When officers searched the car, they found property, guns, cash, a mask and burglary tools including a crowbar and bolt cutters, officials said.

Authorities said they also found property related to a burglary in Cerritos and suspect the arrestees are involved in Los Angeles County crimes.

Each arrestee was booked on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools, all felonies.

Gatlin was a parolee and Collins in on probation for burglary and possession of stolen property charges.

Officials said they believe the individuals were involved in crime ring specifically targeting and operating in Yorba Linda.
